Actually, one thing that did disappoint me was that they did not resolve the Entwives. I thought that, in the beginning, when the hobbits went through the forest the "seemed alive" that those might turn out to be the Entwives...but nooooo! LOL. But I believe that the mystery of the Entwives is one that have stumped many of us (including me...although I am only fourteen, so...), but I believe that may have been Tolkien's intention, because he was so good at resolving so many other parts of the story. Either he decided to resolve the Entwives and never got to, or he intended us to have conversations about it, as we do (if he did, then he is even MORE brilliant than even we worshippers give him credit for).
